RE: Need Advice on Sleep Attire for Newborns
I would highly recommend some of the knit layette gowns or fleece sleep sacks (Carter's makes the fleece ones, Kohls carries them for around $10-12). At the beginning we did a lot of late night diaper changes, and it was soooo much easier not having to put Colin's legs back in the legs of a sleeper or fumble with lots of snaps. Plus, a newborn's legs are so curled up that they tend to pull right out of the legs of sleepers.
In fact, we still use the fleece sleep sacks at 3 months old. Colin is pretty comfortable in them, it seems. He doesn't wake up too warm or too cold. My experience is that he doesn't like to be too bundled up - then he fusses and complains.
Good luck with your new baby girls!!
